Introducing Keith Vogrin, who will be displaying at our upcoming exhibition, Pigmented Perceptions.

Keith Vogrin is a Pennsylvania artist known for his strong skill and passion for oil painting. His neoromantic style is shown through landscapes inspired by the outdoors that shaped his early love of nature. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pennsylvania State University, where he developed formal techniques, including expressive brushstrokes influenced by Impressionism, which are now a key part of his work. Growing up in a small town, Keith developed a deep appreciation for nature, which gave him a unique point of view that he brings into his art. His style of realism turns everyday scenes into something more romantic by using contrast between dark and light, and warm and cool tones. Through this approach, he reflects on the world in a way that helps others see familiar places differently. Since beginning his career, Keith Vogrin’s work has been shown in exhibitions across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland. His hard work paid off in 2022 when Keith became a Lehigh Art Alliance Exhibition Award Winner in his hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Whether inspired by travel or familiar landscapes, his home studio allows him to continue creating neoromantic realist paintings.

View his work on display this fall from September 1st to October 24th at 108 Church St., New Brunswick, NJ.

Guest Artist Exhibition: Wojciech Strzebonski at Alfa

We are honored to welcome Wojciech Strzebonski as a featured guest artist at Alfa Art Gallery for a special exhibition running from August 12, 2026 through September 1, 2026.

You are warmly invited to the Opening Reception on August 15, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM, where guests will have the opportunity to meet Wojciech and experience his deeply expressive work in person.

About the Artist
Wojciech’s artistic journey began in Poland, where he studied painting, art, and sculpture at the State School of Art in Nowy Wiśnicz. He later continued his education in art history at the University of Krakow for two years before leaving Poland to immigrate to the United States.

Before his move, Wojciech worked as an art instructor at the Culture Center House in Mogilany, where he taught for one year. During this time, one of his sculptures won a contest and was selected for permanent display at a church in Siepraw.

After arriving in the United States in 1990, Wojciech worked in custom garden sculpture, mural painting, and decorative metalwork, collaborating with notable artists such as Antonio Salemme. Although he eventually built a successful HVAC business, he continued painting consistently for over 26 years, developing a deeply personal and spiritually resonant body of work.

Artistic Vision
Wojciech’s paintings explore the spiritual connection between humans and nature, expressed through organic forms, layered textures, and symbolic imagery. His work reflects a quiet dialogue between the body and the earth — a search for memory, transformation, and inner reflection.

As he writes in his artist statement:

“Nature is not simply a subject of my work but a living presence.”

This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the depth, sensitivity, and craftsmanship of an artist whose work bridges continents, traditions, and inner worlds.

📍 Alfa Art Gallery
108 Church Street, New Brunswick, NJ
🗓 Opening Reception: August 15, 2–6 PM
🖼 Exhibition Dates: August 12 – September 1, 2026
🌐 Alfa Art Gallery
